Rachel Westbury stunned Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield when she revealed she wanted to carry other women's babies 'forever' but viewers were quick to praise her on Twitter.

Although some women love pregnancy, others struggle with how much it changes their body.

Rachel Westbury is firmly in the first camp and enjoys being pregnant so much that she says she'll carry other women's babies for as long as she can.

Speaking on This Morning yesterday with Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, Rachel revealed she is currently 34 weeks with her fourth surrogacy and feels almost addicted to carrying other people's babies.

She gushed: 'If I could, I would do it forever. Yet I think my family would disown me. I would love to do it again, after this one I will see where I am.'

For her first two surrogacy pregnancies Rachel donated her own eggs, so there is a biological connection between her and the children.

Mum-of-three Holly asked how Rachel copes with this and if she ever feels an attachment but Rachel, who has her own 13-year-old son, explained that seeing the child complete another family all the emotion 'goes away'.

Rachel also revealed that she is still in contact with the families she has helped and regularly meets up with some of them for playdates.

People were quick to praise Rachel on Twitter for giving other couple's the opportunity to have their own biological children.

One person wrote: '#thismorning the ultimate selfless deed...what a great woman!'

Another said: 'What an amazing women this surrogate is giving people who find it difficult having a baby what they want most in life #ThisMorning'.

A third added: 'Amazing woman, offering her body for people who can’t have children themselves! #ThisMorning'.
